Military applications emerged fairly early in the infancy of aviation, in the form of first trials to establish the superiority of the third dimension over the battlefield. Well- known examples include the balloon reconnaissance efforts made in France even before the birth of the aircraft, and it was not long before the first generation of flimsy, underpowered aircraft were being tested in a military environment. The Italians used aircraft for reconnaissance missions at Tripoli in 1910-1912, and the Americans made their first attempts at taking air power to sea as early as 1910-1911.

  • Finnish Air Force Aircraft Fact Sheet Valmet L-70 Vinka
    Finnish Air Force Aircraft Fact Sheet t Valmet L-70 Vinka The Valmet L-70 Vinka is a three-seat piston-engined aircraft of Finnish design and manufacture. The Vinka is used by the Finnish Air Force in a primary training role to teach basic flying skills to military pilots. The aircraft carries the military designation VN. Flight training begins with an elementary syllabus designated VN 1. At this screening phase, students are conscripts selected for service with a reserve pilot officer course in the Air Force Academy in Tikkakoski. Next in sequence is a primary flight training syllabus (VN 2) for students who have started their studies with a pilot track in the National Defense University. On completion of Vinka training, cadets convert to the Hawk for fast jet training. The Air Force has outsourced Vinka flight training and aircraft maintenance Patria. At the controls of the Vinka students go solo, get an aircraft type rating, and conduct cross-country navigation training sorties. The Vinka is also used for training students in night flying, poor visibility instrument flying, and aerobatics. Due to its long service life the Vinka has undergone several minor structural reinforcements and other modifications. The aircraft were fitted with a modern Garmin GNS 430 avionics installation in 2002. 1 Finnish Air Force Aircraft Fact Sheet t History and development The Vinka was designed and built in the 1970s to replace the Swedish Saab Safir that had soldiered on in the training role since 1958. The prototype, designated the Leko-70, made its maiden flight in 1975.

  • The Finnish Air Force BAE Systems Hawk
    The Finnish Air Force t Hawk 66 Hawk 51 BAE Systems Hawk The BAE Systems Hawk is a British single-engined two-seat advanced jet trainer. The Finnish Air Force's Hawks bear the military designation HW and are operated by Fighter Squadron 41 of the the Air Force Academy, primarily in advanced and tactical training roles. In the Hawk, a cadet pursuing a fighter pilot's career gets his or her first taste of jet flying after having learnt basic flying skills at the controls of a piston-engined aircraft. The first (advanced) Hawk training phase, designated HW 1, starts during the second year of cadets' studies in the National Defence University and consists of Hawk type rating, navigation, instrument flying, aerobatics, formation flying, and night flying. The next (lead-in) phase, known as HW 2, focuses on tactical training and consists of basic air-to-air and air-to-ground work before students progress to the more demanding Hornet multi-role fighter. The Hawk can also carry air sampling pods that were used extensively during the volcanic ash crisis in the spring of 2010. The Hawk has has limited engagement capability against attack aircraft, helicopters and other equivalent targets under favorable conditions. The Hawk is also flown by the Air Force's official display team the Midnight Hawks, in which case the team's four aircraft are fitted with smoke generators for enhanced visual effect. Team pilots are flight instructors. During the 2017 display season six aircraft used by the team received a special blue-and-white livery in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Finland’s independence.

  • Finnish Air Force Aircraft Fact Sheet Boeing F/A-18C and F/A-18D Hornet
    Finnish Air Force Aircraft Fact Sheet Boeing F/A-18C and F/A-18D Hornet The Boeing F/A-18C and F/A-18D Hornet are twin-engined multi-role fighters manufactured in the United States. Most of Finland's Hornet fleet is divided between Lapland Air Command (Fighter Squadron 11) and Karelia Air Command (Fighter Squadron 31) to form the backbone of the Air Force's combat capability. Carrying the military designation HN, they are flown on peacetime training and air policing missions. In a time of crisis, the Hornets are set to execute defensive counterair operations to protect the nation's vital assets, civilian population, and operations conducted by all services against air attacks. The aircraft will also be tasked to support joint operations with long-range standoff weapons. The wide range of modern weapons the aircraft can carry combined with its sensor suite and data link systems enables beyond and within visual range engagements under all weather and lighting conditions either by a single aircraft or by packages in seamless cooperation with surface-based air defense units and other air defense assets. In the event of crisis, Hornets can be deployed to operate from dispersed highway strips. 1 Finnish Air Force Aircraft Fact Sheet The Finnish Air Force F/A-18 fleet has undergone an extensive mid-life upgrade program. The first phase, designated MLU 1, was aimed at maintaining and improving the aircraft's air-to-air capability and was completed in 2006–10. The aircraft were fitted with provisions for a helmet-mounted sighting system for better close-range combat capability and the new AIM-9X version of the infra-red guided Sidewinder missile.

  • Finnish Air Force Doctrine - Reshaping for the 21St Century
    172 FINNISH AIR FORCE DOCTRINE - RESHAPING FOR THE 21ST CENTURY LtCol Janne Pauni 1. Introduction Thinking about strategie~ and doctrines is somehow odd for a fighter pilot - more commonly he spends all his brain capacity on safe and familiar subjects like taeties, dogfighting and weapon systems. StilI, the doctrine lies behind all activities of the armed forces, guiding their training, equipping and even their fighting spirit. This writing is a drastically modified version of a research report submitted to the faculty of the United States Air Force University Air War College. The au­ thor was honored to represent the Finnish Air Force as a member of the c1ass of 1996 ofthis highest USAF service school. The paper has two purposes. Firstly, it gives an overview of the doctrinal development both intemationally and in Fin­ land. Secondly, it tries to build the basic frame upon which the Finnish Air Force can construct a reshaped air force doctrine. The thesis of the research was: the Finnish Air Force needs a realistic and up-to-date doctrine that gives the military leaders and other air force, personnel defined fundamental principles by which they guide their actions. The hypothesis was that the current doctrine needs re­ shaping to meet the challenges of the next century. This paper inc1udes the folIowing parts: the fundamentals, the development of doctrines, the challenges and options, and finally the reshaping of the Finnish Air Force doctrine. The definitions, knowledge on development of air power theo­ ries and doctrines, and their implementation are all needed to construct new theo­ ries and doctrines.
